When I’m in Japan, I enjoy eating rice, sleeping on the floor, and walking along our local river. When I’m in the US, I enjoy eating cinnamon rolls, seeing ministry partners, and going to bookstores.

But wherever I am, I enjoy helping leaders. When I’m in Japan, I enjoy helping CAJ administrators improve CAJ’s program and helping church planting teams further develop ministry plans. And now that I’m in the US, I’m enjoying helping home office staff plan July strategy meetings and helping a CAJ board member (via videoconferencing) revise board policy.

Please continue to pray:

1. Ask God to use me to help leaders grow.
2. Praise God for providing staff for CAJ (technology coordinator and teachers—elementary, English, science).

We’re grateful for your prayers, financial support, and friendship.
